Is that daily Starbucks coffee worth 20 minutes of your life?
A single grande latte looks like nothing: $6.25, three minutes to order, one to drink. But it is rarely a single cup. Twenty-two working days a month, ten years of your career — that habit silently accumulates into weeks of work.

The context behind the number
At a $25 true hourly wage, a daily $6.25 coffee costs 15 minutes of work every morning. Over a 40-year career: roughly 6,500 hours — more than three full years of 40-hour work weeks spent funding one habit.
